Ergots and LSD

[White, Rich]

I believe that the morning glory seeds sold in stores are treated with 
something to make them unpalatable.  I think that if you harvest them 
yourself (from your next door neighbor's vine) you get better quality.  But 
I don't know this from personal experience.

BTW the best source for all this is The Golden Guide to Hallucinogenic 
Plants (yes, THOSE golden guides).  It's superb.

.*++Sh- Shure don't want to get into a slanging match, but morning glory
.*++seeds (LSM) can make one puke just as much as peyote.  Probably due to
.*++the myriad of other chemicals in the seeds, supplemental to LSM, but not 

.*++for the faint hearted or weak of stomach. (Personal experience in a land 

.*++far away and long, long ago.)
